After watching the Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Celtics, there are two feelings that are not unhappy!
1. There is still a certain gap between the Lakers and the top teams, although Tatum and Brown shoot very stinky, but they have good defense, and there are more reliable helpers, from rebounds, assists, steals to blocks, the Celtics are all ahead of the Lakers, on the other hand, the Lakers have more mistakes and fouls, and the Lakers must find a way to beat the top teams like the Nuggets and Celtics if they want to win the championship.
2. James is indeed old, although the state of this season seems to be maintained well, and he has repeatedly broken the scoring record of the oldest player, but I have to admit that in high-intensity games, James's dominance is not as good as before, thinking back to the past, whether it is in the Heat or the Cavaliers, James will play once when he sees the Celtics, and the Celtics have been defeated by James in the Eastern Conference Finals three times, and today is different from the past, whether it is James or the Lakers, it is too much to lose against the Celtics!
James had 16 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists today, with a plus/minus of -11, 5-of-14, 1-of-2 three-pointers, and 5-of-6 free throws.
